How to censor only a portion of a clip to hide a logo?

Hi all,
I have a clip which is an animation, but it has a company logo in it pretty much throughout. I'd like to either superimpose my own photo over it, or black it out completely. How can i do this on FCE? I'm using version 4.0.1.
The logo is fixed moreorless in one part, but there are some position changes within the clip couple of times. It won't do for me to crop the size of the frame because I'll lose some important details on the bottom right, whereas the logo is top right.
Thanks in advance...

Apologies. My mistake. I was thinking of a different application.
For FCE the best solution is to download Andy's Region Blur, which is still free I think. It does what the other effect does in the other application.

  • How to delete only a portion of the data portal?

    This would be similar to DataDelAll() command, but allow only a limited set of data to be removed.
    For some background:
    - DIAdem 9.1 sp2
    - LabVIEW interface calling various DIAdem/VBS scripts
    Using DIAdem to format reports based on various scripts and TDM data
    results, I would like to be able to load and unload various data files
    (TDM) while maintaining the specific report layout (also TDM) data in
    the portal.  Two (ugly) options seem to be:
    a)  load entire data result set into the portal (including layout instructions) and process, or
    b)  keep track of layout state variables and clear portal/reload layout/load next data
    This would all be easy if there is a command to enable the right-click delete... behavior of the data portal UI.
    Thanks!

    Hello James,
    there are diufferent commands you can use to delete only a portion of the data in the portal. You can delete single channels, a selection of channels, or entire groups with these three commands:
    Call ChnDel(ChnArg) - deletes one channel
    Call ChnDelete(ClpSource) - deletes a selection of channels
    Call ChnSDel(ChnArg1, ChnNo) - delets a number of channels
    Call GroupDel(TargetGroupIndex) - deletes a group including its channels
    To create a selection of channels as argument for the second command, have a look at the functions
    ChnSelAdd, ChnSelGet, ChnSelCount

  • How select a range or portion of a clip when importing?

    Upgraded from FC Studio 5.1 to FCP10.1 when importing media (mp4 or AVCHD) from the hard drive how do I select a range or portion of a clip in the media import window if I do not want to import the entire clip into FCP.  At this point I can select the entire clip indicated by the yellow outline around it however there does not appear to be any way to click drag to resize the yellow outline to select just a portion of the clip.
    Thanks for any help.

    So if I have a 500mb .mp4 clip I have to import the entire clip? No possible way to select a range?  However FC alows native folder AVCHD clip portions to be imported, very interesting.
    If I connect my Canon xa20 via USB to my iMac would FC then alow me to select clip portions (AVCHD or .mp4) to import?

  • How to delete only part of an event clip

    In Imovie 09 I reject part of a clip in an event and when I send it to trash it takes all the clip. So all my event is in the trash. All my projects are useless and I have to record all from the camera again.
    What I want its just to eliminate part of the clip and stay with the rest. Can anyone tell me how?
    Thanks a lot

    Don't "Move rejected to trash" You shouldn't trash part of clip or all of clip from imove(even anywhere), when "Project" is NOT finished/finalized. You can right click and "Reject Selection"(Yellow highlighted portion), of clip, but don't throw in trash. If you did Not Empty,you might be able to drag back out to desktop.
    The Video that is in Event Library, does not all have to go into Project.(Edit in Event pane, and drag highlighted portion (you want) into Project.

  • Can I make only a portion of a clip slow motion

    Hi,
    I'm relatively new to iMovie and was wondering if this was possible. I have one clip (out of about 10) and I know how to make the whole clip slow down, but I actually only want about 3 secs to slow down. Sorry if this is an obvious funtion, but I can't seem to find an answer.
    Thanks.

    Hi willcomply - to do what you want, split the clip where you want the effect to start and end. To split a clip, select it, position the playhead, then go Command+T. Now apply the slo-mo effect to the newly created segment.

  • Using effects on only a portion of clip

    Is the best way to use an effect on only a portion of a clip to use the blade tool?  the reason i ask is i am trying not to split up clips because i usually add in cross dissolve transitions at the end to all clips.  I then need to find the split clips and remove the transitions.
    Any comments are appreciated,

    I once thought that the range tool could do that. But it does not. As far as I know therer is no option other than Blade tool. Maybe you coould turn it into compond clip after using the blade. Others may have the right solution.

  • How do i make two movies from one clip?

    i have imported a clip from my camera.
    i want to make two movies. one is pretty much the entire clip, but one is only a portion of it. how do i retain the integrity of the complete clip while making edits?

    you should copy the clip (edit>copy) from the project that has the clip as its whole, save and close that project, then make the new one that needs to be only a portion of your clip, paste the clip (edit>paste), and edit it. this is either the answer to your questoin, or i dont understand your questoin.

  • I purchased extra icloud storage to back up my phone and photos. Purchased a new phone and went to download phtotos on new phone and only a portion of my photos are back on my new phone. How do I find all my photos and get them on my new phone

    I purchased extra icloud storage to back up my phone and phots. Purchased a new phone and went to pull my photos from icloud and only a portion trasferred to my new phone. How do I get all of the photos moved to my new phone?

    Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud.  If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now).  Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
    When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier.

  • How do I burn only a portion of a song onto a disc?

    How do I burn only a portion of a song onto a disc?

    Select the song, do a Get Info, Options, set the start and stop times to whatever part of the song you want. OK out of there. Add song to playlist, burn to a CD. Only the selected part of the song will be burned.
    Be sure to reset the start and stop times if you want to be able to listen to the full track in iTunes.
    Also, you can right click on the song with the start/stop times set, pick Convert To XXX (xxx will be whatever the import preferences are set for (MP3, AAC, etc.), and a new copy of the song will be created but only the portion between the start and stop times.

  • How do I keep only the cropped portion of a clip and trash the rest?

    Before getting my new Macbook, I was using iMovie3. When I would crop a file, only the highlighted portion was kept and the rest of the clip was sent to the trash. With iMovie HD, it is my understanding when you crop a clip, the information outside the cropped area is stored somewhere - how do I send this unneeded portion of the clip to the trash? I have used up almost all the memory in my new computer and don't know how to free up space without deleting the entire clip.

    Hi m
    You can't: As standard. iMovie is a "*non destructive editor*" - means it stores
    the Capture/Imported material in one place and Your cutting, editing etc. is just
    a text document refering onto how this material is to be viewed.
    Even if You only usesed one frame from an hour long import - all of it will be
    saved for futhure changes. (1 hour = about 13Gb of space)
    You can: Send movie back to Camera and a new miniDV tape. Then start a new
    project from this - and delete Your old project.
    This will free up space - but You lose the ability to adjust the prior editings,
    texts and so on.
    Alt is to save as full quality QT.mov and start a new project from this. Still
    what's done is done - but You jump the Camera step. (I have the feeling of that
    I get a quality loss this way - but several in this forum disagrees)
    Advice:
    1. Try to Capture/Import about what You need and not just dump in several hours of
    material for a few minutes movie.
    2. I use a hugh external FireWire hard disk (Mac OS Extended formatted) to store
    my movie projects and a minimum of 25Gb free space on my internal (start-up) one.

  • How do i select a portion of a document to print

    how do i print only a portion of a document that I have highlighted?

    InDesign can print a selection of pages (set a range in the print dialog) , not not parts of pages.

  • How do i convert a portion of day into a time?

    How do i convert a portion of day into a time, without dividing and modding the number myself?
    For example, i calculated solar noon UTC to be .733409047. Adding that to the date gives the correct answer:
    SQL> SELECT TO_DATE('1/1/2012', 'DD/MM/YYYY') + .733409047 FROM Dual;
    TO_DATE('1/1/2012',
    01/01/2012 17:36:07
    A few questions, to actually understand this.
    Is .733409047 implicitly converted? If so, to what datatype?
    If i want HH:MM:SS does it need to be converted to a date, and then TO_CHAR? Or can the decimal be directly converted?
    I'm currently trying to understand INTERVAL.
    SQL> select interval '.5' day from dual;
    select interval '.5' day from dual
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01867: the interval is invalid
    So, i'm obviously misunderstanding it. Can it be used here?

    A few questions, to actually understand this.

    In Oracle, if d is a DATE and n is a NUMBER (not necessarily an integer, and not necessarily positive), d+n is the DATE that is n days later than d.
    If i want HH:MM:SS does it need to be converted to a date, and then TO_CHAR? Or can the decimal be directly converted?Sorry, I don't understand. Are you saying that you want to do something like date arithmetic, but instead of using a number like .733409047 (meaning about .73 of a day), you want to pass a string like '17:36:07' (meaning 17 hours, 36 minutes and 7 seconds)? If so, INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND is probably your best bet. (It looks like you're already thinking along these lines.)
    I'm currently trying to understand INTERVAL.
    SQL> select interval '.5' day from dual;
    select interval '.5' day from dual
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01867: the interval is invalid
    So, i'm obviously misunderstanding it. Can it be used here?You can only use integers like that. If you want to use any number, then use date arithmetic to add to (or subtract from) a DATE, or use NUMTIDSINTERVAL to produce an INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND:
    SELECT     NUMTODSINTERVAL (.733409047, 'DAY')     AS intrvl
    FROM     dual;Output:
    INTRVL
    +000000000 17:36:06.541660800 
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), maybe about 5 rows, and also post the results you want from that data.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using.

  • How to export just a portion of video in PE9?

    I just upgraded to PE9 (from PE2) and cannot find the same menu options that let me export just a portion of my video to a file or DVD.  anyone know where these settings are?  Looked in the PDF online, but no luck finding this info.
    thanks
    david

    David,
    Besides the Share to Disc limitation of using the WAB, there are a few other Export options where it will not be available, but for most options it is. Here is a look at the WAB (Work Area Bar), and how it is set:
    Hope that this helps and good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - if you want to Burn to Disc, only a portion of the Timeline, you can do that, though not as directly, as the above WAB limiting. You would first Open your Project, and then do a Save_As, renaming to something like Project Name_Short (very important), and then Delete the elements that you do not want. When done, do a Save of this edited Project, and then Burn to Disc from it. As you did a Save_As first, you still have your original Project un-edited and safe. That is why the Save_As step is so very important.
